Every name on this list passed the same demanding screen (YTD ≥30%, 1Y ≥25%, RSI 55-78, fwdPe ≤15, PEG ≤1.5), but the forecast tape is almost uniformly bearish across candidates, so the pick has to be about relative strength on near-term horizons, position in the range, and confirmed analyst/news support. Credicorp (BAP) wins on that composite. Fundamentals are elite for a screen name: PE 14.87, fwdPe 11.46, PEG 0.83, ROE 19.46%, profit margin 23.22%, operating margin 33.95%, sales YoY +22.61% (best top-line growth in the group), and a strong analyst recom of 1.54 with a fresh +3.4% target upside. Fundamental score is 7.25 — second-highest behind CPRX, but CPRX has a mediocre 2.8 recom and only 0.7% target upside. The tape confirms best-in-class near-term entry mechanics. On the 1h, BAP sits at just 45.8% of its 21-bar range with a modest -1.69% drawdown — you are literally NOT chasing, unlike BPOP, MPC, CVS, MFG, SIRI, ALGT and RNG which are pinned at 100%. Short-horizon forecasts are the least-bad in the pool: fc_short 1h -0.91%, 4h -0.57% (essentially flat), which is materially better than CPRX's daily -24.68%, DAL's daily -31.38%, or NESR's weekly -86.62% blowup risk. Yes, longer-dated forecasts on the 1wk are ugly (-44 to -53%), but that pattern is universal here and reflects the model's mean-reversion against extended weekly bars — it's noise unless confirmed by the shorter frames, which it currently is NOT for BAP. News flow is a clean positive: BAP got a +13.48% price target hike to $420.30 on June 30, and a Benzinga retrospective (June 22) highlights the compounding story. No dilution, no legal overhang, no insider dumps (contrast NESR, where an insider just cashed $51.45M — an actual landmine that disqualifies an otherwise 7.25-score name). The bull thesis is a Peruvian financial franchise trading at ~11x forward, ROE nearly 20%, sales +22% YoY, with the stock pulling back to mid-range on the hourly — that's a textbook "buy the first breath" setup for a screen leader. Why today vs. waiting: the 1h drawdown of -1.69% and mid-range positioning IS the pullback. Waiting risks the daily consolidation resolving upward and forcing a chase into the 100% weekly range extreme. The near-term forecasts (-0.57% to -0.91%) suggest minimal downside from here, which lets you define risk tightly.
- Weekly forecast is -44% to -53% — if the daily loses $380 support, momentum unwind could be violent given the 1wk sits at 100% of range
- Peruvian macro/FX exposure: BAP is a Lima-listed franchise; USD/PEN or Peru political shock could hit independent of US tape
- RSI 63.89 and perfYear +73.83% means a lot of gain is already priced in; PEG 0.83 helps but doesn't insulate from profit-taking
- Sector concentration risk — five of the top screen names (BAP, BPOP, STT, MRX, BFH) are Financials, so a rates or credit shock hits the whole cohort
- Daily fc_short of -20.89% suggests the model sees a swing-degree pullback within weeks; sizing should assume you may see -8% before the trade works
| # | Symbol | Verdict | Score | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BAP | BUY NOW | 7.6 | Mid-range on the 1h (45.8%), flattest near-term forecasts (-0.57%/-0.91%), fresh +13% PT hike, recom 1.54, sales +22.6% YoY — cleanest entry in the pool. |
| 2 | CPRX | BUY NOW | 7.2 | Top fundamental score 7.5, zero debt, 37% margin, 1h at 46% of range with only -0.64% short forecast; recom 2.8 is the only blemish. |
| 3 | BPOP | BUY PULLBACK | 6.8 | Strongest analyst conviction (recom 1.11), PE 12.4, but pinned at 100% of range on all TFs — don't chase, wait for retrace. |
| 4 | STT | BUY PULLBACK | 6.2 | Diversified custody franchise, fwdPe 11.88, PT hike to $194, 4h at just 28% of range — near-term flat forecast (-1.49%) offers a decent add zone. |
| 5 | DAL | BUY PULLBACK | 5.8 | ROE 25%, PEG 0.66, fresh BofA PT $100, but 1d/1wk pinned at 99-100% and daily fc -31% — needs a pullback. |
| 6 | MFG | WAIT | 5.6 | PE 14.6, recom 1.67, 4h drawdown -3.73% at 50% of range gives entry, but high leverage (D/E 5.89) and only 0.35% sales growth. |
| 7 | RPRX | WAIT | 5.4 | FwdPe 9.92, operating margin 67.9%, recom 1.44 — but insider trimming and PEG 1.08 make it a hold-not-add. |
| 8 | MPC | WAIT | 5.1 | ROE 27.9%, PEG 0.45, but epsNextY -22.6% is a red flag and TD Cowen just lowered PT; refining cycle late-stage. |
| 9 | JAZZ | WAIT | 4.9 | PEG 0.18 looks cheap but profit margin 0.66% and 'overrated stocks' headline suggests earnings quality issue. |
| 10 | BFH | WAIT | 4.7 | PE 8.64 and Zacks upgrade help, but 1d fc -43.9% and 1h at 29% of range with -3.42% drawdown says the tape is already breaking. |
| 11 | VLO | WAIT | 4.5 | Refining tailwind narrative, but epsNextY -29% and insider selling; 1d fc -33.8% is severe. |
| 12 | MRX | WAIT | 4.3 | ROE 28.99%, PEG 0.62, but D/E 7.68, targetUpsidePct -4.3%, and 4h fc_long -46% — leverage too high for this tape. |
| 13 | RNG | WAIT | 4.2 | Only name with positive longer 1wk forecast (+58% mid), but profit margin 3.31%, PE 43, and 1d recent -5.64% shows momentum cracking. |
| 14 | SIRI | WAIT | 4.0 | 1wk fc positive (+12.49% mid), fwdPe 8.79, but recom 3, sales -0.28%, target -7.8%, and short float 11.77%. |
| 15 | BEN | AVOID | 3.6 | Recom 3.0, targetUpsidePct -5.5%, ROE only 5.5% — asset manager with weakest analyst support in the pool. |
| 16 | CVS | AVOID | 3.5 | Profit margin 0.72%, ROE 3.8%, PE 46, at 100% of range on 4h/1d/1wk — the fundamentals don't back the momentum. |
| 17 | PBI | AVOID | 3.2 | Sales YoY -18.48%, short float 15.5%, small cap ($2.38B), 1d fc -35% — screen pass on paper, business in decline. |
| 18 | ALGT | AVOID | 3.0 | Negative ROE (-3.2%) and profit margin (-1.34%), RSI 76.7 extended, 1h fc_short -14.14% — despite bullish Q2 guide, tape is stretched. |
| 19 | NESR | AVOID | 2.5 | Insider cashed $51.45M on June 30 — disqualifying red flag despite 350% 1Y and PEG 0.21; 1wk fc_mid -86.6% confirms exhaustion. |
